• If the Dante module is locked by Dante Device Lock, use Dante Controller to unlock it, then restart the DM3 unit and proceed with the update.
•  If the Dante module is enrolled in a domain of Dante Domain Manager, use Dante Domain Manager to unenroll it, then restart the DM3 unit and proceed with the update.

• For more information, refer to the release notes of the DM3/DM3S firmware.

If the Dante module update failed

To recover from such a state, the Dante module will enter “fail safe mode.” If the Dante module could boot in the fail safe mode, you can recover it to send a recovery image from the Dante Updater.

Recovery procedure

1.  Turn off the power to the DM3.
2.  Separate the DM3 from the Dante network.
3.  Connect the Dante [PRIMARY] connector of the DM3 to the Ethernet connector on the computer using an Ethernet cable. In some cases, an error may occur during recovery if you are going through a network switch. Connect the computer with the DM3 in a one-to-one connection.
4. Turn on the power to the DM3.
5. Disable all but one of the network interfaces on your computer. You should also disable the wireless LAN.
6. Execute the Dante Updater to update the Dante module firmware. For details, refer to “Updating the Firmware” in the Dante Firmware Update Guide (yamaha.com).

The recovery is now complete.
